Cable-driven parallel robots (CDPRs) are a subset of conventional parallel robots which actuate an end-effector using arrangements of unilaterally-constrained cables. They allow for large workspaces and advanced end-effector dynamics, but require substantial supporting structures to be effective. This is problematic when deploying them in space-constrained applications. This paper studies a passive counterweight system proposed for allowing the deployment of CDPRs in applications with limited space availability. The need for such easily installed structures is explained and a quasi-static suspended 2-DoF CDPR is modelled. A counterweight system is then proposed and its kinetostatic model is developed. Finally, this model is utilized within an optimisation algorithm to determine system dimensions that achieve optimal moment cancellation in the supporting structure.

Learning from Demonstration (LfD) enables robots to learn new tasks through an imitation process. This methodology can be combined with Behavior-Based Control (BBC), which facilitates the abstraction of behaviors for the robot by dividing them into micro-behaviors. These can be implemented using Artificial Neural Networks trained by bio-inspired algorithms. In this work, a novel methodology based on the LfD and BBC methods is proposed for controlling soccer robots, specifically for the Very Small Size Soccer (VSSS) category, which demands quick and dynamic responses. Simulations using CoppeliaSim were conducted to demonstrate how the proposed methodology can be used for path planning and path-following problems in the IEEE VSSS category.

This paper presents the design and construction of a low-cost combat robot named Artemis, developed for participation in the Robocore Experience 2024 competition. The project emphasizes the integration of cost-effective components and innovative methodologies to create a competitive robot. The ESP32 microcontroller was selected for its advantages in energy efficiency and connectivity, surpassing traditional platforms like Arduino. The construction process involved several phases, including planning, development, testing, correction, and performance evaluation, utilizing tools such as CAD software for design and 3D printing for fabrication. Key components included a DC motor, L298N H-bridge, and a LiPo battery, all chosen to optimize performance while adhering to budget constraints. The robot's design evolved through iterative testing and adjustments, ultimately leading to a successful competition debut. This work highlights the importance of resourcefulness and collaboration in robotics, showcasing how educational institutions can foster innovation in engineering projects.

Modern aircraft compression ignition engines that seek to achieve fuel-flexible operation require ignition-assisting devices to perform reliably. Many military propulsion systems, and unmanned aircraft in particular, can use hot surface energy addition to improve engine performance. An analysis of the thermomechanical stress behavior of hot surface ignition devices is therefore critical to ensure that they can satisfy new operational requirements. In this paper, a phenomenological heat-flux model is proposed to simulate heat generation inside a heating element. Two finite element analysis models are established using the proposed heat-flux model in order to characterize the transient thermomechanical behavior of an ignition assistant: a two-dimensional (2-D) axisymmetric model with an equivalent cylindrical heating element and a three-dimensional (3-D) solid model with realistic heating element geometry. The transient behavior of the ignition assistant is investigated at standard conditions by characterizing the temperature and thermal stress inside the device for various input voltages. The effect of the nonaxisymmetric heating element geometry on the temperature and thermal stress distribution is assessed. Furthermore, the 3-D ignition assistant model is used to analyze the thermomechanical behavior of an ignition device subjected to a combustion event inside a rapid compression machine. Multiple circumferential orientations of the heating element plane relative to the spray axis are investigated. Results demonstrate that the observed maximum principal stress depends significantly on heating element orientation.
